Type of review

I have been using Apple technology for quite a long time, I could not decide to switch from my "fat" MacBook Pro 13.3 of 2022, but I bought it. At first it was not familiar, but then the device became pleasant. I don’t know, at the expense of those who are not comfortable rejecting USB, I bought 1 adapter and a USB flash drive, which has connectors on both sides, I don’t insert many devices into a laptop, so this didn’t become a problem either. In general, I am very pleased with the device, if…

Pros
  • - Weight - New keyboard - Thickness - Price (considering that I took it at a discount)
Cons
  • - The battery lasts for 2-3 hours of active use, but since I actively use the laptop only at home, this is not a minus for me.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

My old Asus worked for 5 years and became obsolete, I had to sell it. Long suffered what to take. Based on the reviews and from my little practice of owning an apple, I liked the products of the Pindos, the build quality, the battery life. It scared away the transition from Windows to Ios and the need to buy programs. Nevertheless, after suffering for two weeks, I bought this miracle for 80 tyrov, the most affordable option: 13 ", 8 RAM, 5 percent, 128 volume, built-in video. It turned out that

Pros
  • 1. Reliability 2. If you need to sell - high price in the secondary market compared to competitors (like Toyota among other brands) 3. Retina (Google to help those who are not in the subject) 4. Excellent build quality (two months flight is normal) 5. No antivirus needed
Cons
  • 1. You need to buy an adapter for USB 2. All necessary programs are paid. You can, of course, install any broken rubbish, but it’s not a fact that it will work 3. Not for heavy games.

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

I have been using for almost 2 years. Happy with the laptop. Of the add-ons, I still bought an original tee (DP, HDMI, USB), a USB-Type-C data cable. It turned out that this younger model is problematic, but the vendor recognized all the problems. When choosing, I also looked at other laptop vendors, but with similar characteristics that are important to me, the offers of competitors (ASUS, Dell) were not cheaper or more advantageous.

Pros
  • Good screen, quality assembly, amazing sound, autonomy.
Cons
  • Keyboard. I blew it myself, but also contacted the service center three times. Under load it gets very hot. I did not like the fact that I went to the service center 5 times (keyboard, SSD, charging).

Model without touchbar with 128 GB The perfect laptop for a designer. It copes with all the tasks that I entrust to it. It costs its money, and if your work is tied to this device, it pays for itself very quickly. A lot of cool software that has no analogues on Windows. In general, if you like comfort and beauty, then you don’t have to choose - this laptop is for you.

Pros
  • - Ideal screen; — Convenient dimensions: weight, size; - Convenient touchpad and keyboard; - Good performance; and cool software, convenient and beautiful OS.
Cons
  • — Price - Keyboard (yes, it was in the pros) - Marked case (the rule is valid only for the Space Gray version)

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

With its pros: Lightweight, extremely comfortable and intuitive. The screen is incomparable Some cons: Many applications do not fit on the new Catalina axle Requires specific adapters

A bad product, not worth the money.

I would think twice before buying this model. Perhaps in favor of the touchbar, if the top row of buttons is actively needed. There is a crazy idea that this is deliberately done by the manufacturer, but I will not develop it. The myth of uncompromising quality is slowly being dispelled. Has some pros: Retina. Main reason for buying. The quality of the screen is rapidly flying into space from all competitors on the shelf. Autonomous battery operation. Very good. The sound is excellent. With a…

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

At work, I often come across these laptops, well, I pleased myself - I bought it. In general, there is nothing to comment on: expensive, light and reliable. For those who are strangled by the toad and they go to buy some similar one, it’s faster “but a little cheaper” I’ll say this - Win fouls up in six months and starts to slow down, and a Mac without brakes (with the same input) will work for more than one year.

Pros
  • metal case Makos Key backlight Size Screen
Cons
  • Ports (2 type-c) Removed optical port from headphone jack. This came as a surprise. Proprietary SSD (you can only change to the original one, I haven’t heard about non-original / adapters yet)

Good product, good quality, not bad.

A little offtopic for those who don't understand. In 2022 I bought a new MBP and have been with it for 6.5 years! I worked all these years only on it, every working day. I recently sold it for almost the same money I bought it, and it is in perfect condition, almost like new. It had i5, 16GB of RAM, 256ssd + 1Tb hdd and it is still awesome and everything flies. This is the real magic of MacBooks. I myself work in the field of web development. The main reason for switching to a new macbook is a

Pros
  • - macOS. Despite the instability in recent builds, there is no better way to work. This is the number 1 reason why I don’t see an alternative to poppies. - Excellent screen, retina - Excellent sound quality, nice bonus - Design - The best touchpad on the market, there are no analogues - The keyboard, for all its shortcomings, is still not bad - Charging via usb-c is convenient, phone charging is enough for the laptop not to sit down during work or slowly charge in the slip - Excellent autonomy - Silent operation, despite the fact that there is one fan, it does not turn on most of the time
Cons
  • - There are only usb-c ports, there are many problems with adapters. - The case is really easy to chip, I only wear it in a case that lies in my bag) - For me, a big problem is the instability of the external monitor connection. The official apple adapter only supports 4k @ 30Hz, I tried various Chinese ones that promised hdmi 4k @ 60Hz, but it's all a hoax. I settled on a usb-c (thunderbolt) cable to DisplayPort, but still sometimes it incorrectly detects the monitor, sometimes the retina modes disappear (only 2: 1 remains), sometimes it drops to 30Hz. In general, trouble. I suffered for a long time with their support, but they were of no use. -I now connect all external devices via bluetooth, at first it was inconvenient, but now I even make fun of it. Came to work, stuck only a monique, everything else was already cut - Klava makes a lot of noise when typing, the convenience is average, you have to get used to it - They proved to me in the store that the keys on the screen are not imprinted, this is only if you press on the cover, etc. Nifiga, imprinted. In general, the screen is very easily soiled. - For this money, the iron is weak. This is offset by the speed of macOS. But if earlier people took Windows to install, now I don’t see the point. - no magnetic charging as before (magsafe), but there is an adapter. The only joint is that it weakly holds on and bounces all the time. - The charging cable immediately ordered another one, the quality of apple cables is known to everyone, the original gets dirty instantly

Product is unreliable, just don't buy it.

A good enough model, if you need a machine to work with photos and videos, that's it. If you buy this model purely in order to be, or lay out solitaire for lunch, do not buy. If there are no specific goals, but you just need a good laptop, it is better to choose another manufacturer or look at another model! I would give the best rating, purely for the monitor and good sound, since for me these are the most important parameters, but the cons are too critical.

Pros
  • 1. An excellent monitor, excellent color reproduction, for working with photo and video content, however, I encountered such a problem that, for example, when working in Photoshop, all the disadvantages of a photo are not always visible and there is a chance to make not very high-quality material. Since I work on both mac and windows, after processing the material, I notice a bunch of imperfections that are not visible on mac due to a good monitor. 2. Long battery life 3. Excellent sound, but if you do not reboot for a long time, then the sound eventually becomes like from a cave, I don’t know what this is connected with, after a reboot the problem disappears. 4. Good power, 4k video works fine, heavy material also opens quickly 5. Material is copied very quickly to any media 6. Weight and compactness 7. This is already absurd, many people write that the case is easily soiled, especially space gray, I didn’t have such a problem, I can only advise you to wash your hands :)
Cons
  • 1. Disgusting battery. After about six months of non-aggressive operation, there were problems with the battery, the computer began to turn off without warning at a certain percentage of charge, as it turned out later, this is a fairly common problem. I had to replace. Given the cost of the goods and such a terrible minus, I want to put a unit :( 2. In the first month of operation, when I opened the laptop, the first thing I saw was white noise for 1-2 seconds, not often, but it happened. After the ate, the problem no longer occurred. 3. Heats up quickly and makes noise when working with the adobe product line and video programs like final cut pro, again, not always

Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

bought in June 2022 For a long time I chose a laptop (I was still in mind del xps 13) for work (programming). Chose - no regrets. Very user friendly operating system. Beautiful ui + features of unix systems. The keyboard and trackpad, along with shortcuts / gestures, make the work much easier. It is convenient to work without a mouse. The sound is excellent. Screen too. Lightweight - can be thrown into a backpack. For a long journey, charging will add extra weight (about 200g). It charges in an

Pros

A good balance of price/quality, recommend it.

5. Why does no one write that this laptop does not have a single normal USB connector? There are 2 new super-modern USB-C and that's it . I understand everything. This is the future and that's it . But it's like PRO. The professional models of the same Lenov and HP have not only USB, but also VGA, and even often full-fledged stem connectors. Plus, the funny thing is that these two connectors are made so close to each other that it is often not possible to insert two devices together. If they…

Pros
  • An operating system that, although kotsana, is still no Unix at all. Plus, when you buy this laptop, you're buying a "ready-made" thing. It will not fail, you will never know that some drivers are needed, the ates will install as they should . Unfortunately, a modern person who is not versed in computers does not have a normal choice: something on Windows that requires no finishing, or already a "ready" thing, where everything works and there are no viruses. As it turned out, Mac OS X - as we know a descendant of Free BSD, has an SSH server, and even SCP works. If desired, you can install SSHFS. Cool . Almost Linux)))) And of course, you can’t help but praise Apple for the fact that they know how to make BEAUTIFUL things. The same Windows 10 has become some kind of dark and square even compared to the 7th one. There is also a riot of colors, animation (albeit stupid, but still) . Everything is clear and elegant.
Cons
  • If we discard all these sighs about "this is Apple", then the bottom line is a very mediocre laptop. He's handsome, but he's basically mediocre. 1. Solid case? Well, now, for this money, other manufacturers offer cases even better, lighter, thinner . The hinges do not allow you to expand the laptop even 180 degrees. See what cases the same HP has in top-end laptops. 2. Good screen? Now such a screen can be bought in the middle price segment, top-end laptops from other manufacturers already have 4K, and touchscreens, and SuperAmoled . But what about that? Just a good IPS matrix with a resolution greater than FullHD. - if you set such a resolution as a search parameter in Market, then more than 150 models will come out. 3. Battery life? Top laptops from the same Lenova, HP, etc. say at 15:00. At the same time, they test their laptops on Windows, which is constantly doing something in the background - not like normal operating systems. Tests can and will show good advantages in autonomy, but in real work everything will be smeared with the mode of use. Well, in any case, with this operating system at our disposal, much more could be done. 4. This laptop does not have a keyboard. If we take the comfort of the keyboard on a scale of 10, then if the Lonovo ThinkPad has 9-10 (depending on the model), the MacBookPro will have 1. Yes, yes! This is the worst keyboard I have ever seen in my life. The Xiaomi 12 inch keyboard is much more comfortable. If you type a lot, and especially if you know how to type text in the blind, then your hands will fall off this laptop. Key travel? A millimeter, maybe even less. When you press some kind of nasty "klotsk", like a piezo lighter. I'm a fast touch typist, the quality of the keyboard is very important for this kind of thing. After the divine keyboard of ThinkPads, this misunderstanding cannot be called a keyboard. And this is a laptop with a Pro prefix . A disgrace.

I used Mac book air for leisure, for myself I decided to take the most budget pro version for 13, with 128GB, without the Touch Bar. The choice was simple. From 1998 to 2022 everything was on Microsoft. 3-4 years and with moderate use, the miracle of technology turns into a pumpkin. Familiar macs, “open beer for them” and have had no performance problems for 5 years. 128 or 256? Do you need to carry a lot of junk with you? Throw memories in the form of a photo or video on your hard drive and…

Pros
  • operating system Screen Sound from external speakers (compared to MacBook Air)
Cons
  • The lack of mundane usb ports, or maybe it's just a fear of the future)

I develop for Android, sometimes I write on the pluses, sometimes in Python. The studio flies, as does the idea. I mainly use vs Code, Sublime text. The price is high, but it's worth it! For the same price, you are unlikely to find something similar in terms of quality, autonomy, aesthetics and performance. This is my first device from Apple, although I have been eyeing their products for a long time. Initially I wanted to take air 2022, but there was no American version anywhere. Then I looked

Pros
  • Screen. Retina, everything you need to know about him! Viewing angles are maximum! The keyboard is chic, although it clicks unusually. I was looking for an American version of the device, because I do not like the stripped-down shift. I print blindly, so I didn’t even plan to do engraving. The keys are large, so when typing, you can relax your hands and fingers. The touchpad is a pleasure to use! I knew it was Force touch, but I couldn't tell the difference between a simulated vibration motor click and a real click. Interaction with the system goes to a fundamentally new level. And yes, it is really just huge! When typing, I never reacted to the palm of my hand. The lid is firmly fixed, while typing does not swing. Auto brightness works very smoothly, you don't even notice the transition from one level to another. Keyboard backlight is great! Light does not pass through the gaps of the keys. The sound of the speakers is the best I've heard on a laptop. I work with the keyboard a lot, but I have never accidentally pressed the shutdown button. Yes, and pressing it will not spoil anything, because it must be kept pressed. macOS is amazing! I like Linux-based systems, but I was frustrated by the lack of a lot of graphics software. Here is a unix system! Native terminal, there will be no problems with ssh connection, the ability to install a package manager and install console applications without any problems, using photoshop in parallel. Having Sketch is great! You can prototype interfaces with convenience! Animations are worked out, the design of the system is unified. When ates are released, you can see a really meaningful changelog! Case top class! The charger has interchangeable plugs - when buying an American device or just traveling around different countries, there is no need to carry additional external adapters or alternative chargers! Yes, and these plugs are nice) Lightweight, reliable, beautiful and relatively powerful laptop!) Space Gray is a very beautiful color!
Cons
  • Several times the hotkey flew to switch the layout. Marked case, but less easily soiled than my previous plastic acer. When you open the lid, the upper frame of the display is constantly dirty. The bullseye on the lid is dirty, and it is very noticeable from some angles. Gets hot under load and makes noise. iTunes does not support flac, I had to install a third-party player.

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

I decided to change my top Air 13 to this device. And the replacement, I will say is very controversial. For some reason, nowhere does it say that the battery is weak. For example, air was enough for 3 days. Here 1.5-2 days In terms of feeling, this is great. If I charged the air every other time (I was sure that it would be enough for sure). This poppy needs to be charged like an iPhone - every night. there is always uncertainty - will it be enough . The screen is good with saturated deep…

Pros
  • Screen touchpad Dimensions Compact and handy adapter
Cons
  • The battery (battery) and this is a significant drawback for those who used airs before. The rest won't pay attention.

I use it as a typewriter for study and work. it’s important for me that there is a good screen and good enough autonomy so that I don’t have to think about where to charge my laptop all day (and I definitely won’t carry a charger from it every day) + recharge my phone from it once. I don’t play games, I don’t edit videos, I don’t professionally process photos. I have no doubt that under my requests you can find a Windows laptop much cheaper, but I bought a mac and I don’t regret anything. it…

Pros
  • - screen. bright, contrast, colors amazingly conveys. it is a pleasure to read on it, in general, the eyes do not get tired - weight. Easy to take with you absolutely everywhere. - battery life. study all day long in the mode of recording lectures, reading books and surfing the Internet, and in the evening for the remaining 40% to watch 2-3 episodes of the series. - MacOS. brakes? no, haven't heard. everything is fast, clear, no complaints. - the quality of the laptop itself. just perfect. it is so neatly made, and everything is clearly fitted, which causes aesthetic pleasure from its use. - touchpad. large and very comfortable. what is a mouse - you forget instantly. - sound. he does not need speakers, everything is heard perfectly, even in fairly quiet videos, the sound reserve is enough. the sound is rich enough for a laptop, but it’s not worth comparing with a good speaker, of course (and this will never occur to anyone in their right mind) - backlit keyboard. I am very pleased that the diode illuminates the key in the center, and not around. very comfortable in low light conditions.
Cons
  • everything is subjective here, and by and large these are not shortcomings, just minor inconveniences that I personally experienced, but not the fact that anyone else will have: - keyboard. yes, it is infinitely comfortable, the key travel is small, typing on it is fast and easy. but she is very loud. no matter how hard I try to press the keys softer, the clicks are still quite loud. - weight. yes, it is quite small, the macbook itself is very compact and fits into a bag / backpack, but it would be absolutely ideal if we subtract another 200-300 grams from its weight. - space gray is quite easily soiled. no matter how you wipe this case, in a few hours it will again have fingerprints. - two ports. 4 in the model with a touchbar, but I still did not dare to overpay 20k for it. and sometimes you need to connect two flash drives at the same time, respectively, you can’t put it on charge. but this is a very small inconvenience, rarely encountered in everyday life.

In general, I did not regret that I chose this particular poppy. I took web development for my tasks. For a long time I doubted whether it was worth overpaying for custom with 16 RAM and 256 SSD and whether I needed a touch bar. As a result, I took such a custom without a wheelbarrow and it turned out to be a very right decision. With its pros: 1. Excellent display 2.

I have not regretted the purchase, everything is fine.

For a long time I used budget laptops, due to my professional activities, I had to roll a hackintosh on them, but in the end I got tired of the fact that something often falls off during ates, so I decided to take a real MacBook. First of all, I liked the screen (IPS), very clear, bright enough and you can look at it from any angle, unlike budget laptops with a TN matrix. But at the same time, I don’t like gloss, I always chose laptops with a matte screen, I hope that I will quickly get used to

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

In general, a good thing, BUT, I repeat, not powerful! You can watch movies, surf the internet, mount 20-30 minute videos in iMovie with cooler noise. Final Cut is already more problematic, but possible. Summing up, I will say the following: If you need to sit on the Internet and chat and watch movies, he and the MacBook Air, MacBook 12 and this one will do, the last one (Pro) is even better. Forget about games.

Pros
  • 1. Screen 2. Build Quality 3. Weight 4. Speaker sound 5. Design
Cons
  • 1. Power (although with the Pro prefix, but it doesn’t smell like that, I’ll give an example: I turned on Final Cut or You Tube in 4K and that’s it, the pipe, after 3-4 minutes it starts to make noise and get warm, BUT it doesn’t slow down. 2. Menu - who did not have Mac OS before, it will be difficult to get used to at first. Especially trackpad gestures. 3. I got a little “defective”, I’ll explain: Sometimes a creak was involuntarily heard from the left speaker, a second crackle. Then three months passed. One letter on the keyboard also stuck, I already wanted to go change it, but it turned out that a grain of sand got in, it was a grain of sand, not bread and so on, I don’t eat at the computer!)

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

An excellent working computer with a wild price tag, although on windows such laptops cost about the same money, paradoxically. I don’t even know much what to write about him, he just works well and doesn’t bother anything. Even if he has pronounced strengths, they become something ordinary and you do not notice them. And I also don’t know what to attribute to the shortcomings, except for fears for the quality, the lack of a card reader and the fact that the battery lives less than stated…

Pros
  • Gorgeous screen, excellent build quality, comfortable keyboard, good sound, overall good performance. Virtually silent operation without load, sometimes it seems that there is no fan at all. I have not tried Final Cad, but in iMovie and da Vinci it works quite fast at 1080. If you're willing to pay, it's a great option. You get used to the type-c ports quite quickly. I have been using it for 4 months, during this time I did not reveal any jambs in assembly or marriage, I did not encounter any difficulties. liquidity in the secondary market. The best praise is the absence of negative reviews. And there are a couple of complaints.
Cons
  • Price and a bunch of concerns about quality. That is, now it works just fine, but this news about a sticky keyboard (I bought an overlay) and about a fraying screen cable is a little unnerving. And when buying a computer for such a price (even if it is a basic version, it is still expensive), you expect quality from it. How it will be there specifically with my copy is still difficult to say. The battery definitely does not hold the declared 10 hours, although if you just surf the Internet, then it lives for 7 hours. It makes quite a lot of noise under load, although even at the end of it it cools down quickly and ceases to seem like an airplane taking off (but you need to keep in mind that it still makes less noise than my last asus n-series). It still lacks a card reader. If you can attribute macOS bugs to this review, then there are a couple. When you try to use a microphone in safari (for example, record a FB voice message), the voice is recorded with distortion, and after that the microphone starts to work incorrectly throughout the system (even in a voice recorder, Skype, and so on), it is treated with a reboot, sent feedback on feedback, but in the version 102022.1 this bug is still present. Sometimes when using headphones, the volume drops, that is, when you turn it 100%, it will play only about half, and when you turn them off, the speakers will have the same effect. It also disappears after a reboot.
